Excellent articles on Call Reluctance from the National Association of Sales Professionals. Nothing is more foundational to sales success than prospecting. Yet most people hate to prospect! It does not have to be that way. The majority of entrepreneurs and salespeople suffer from call reluctance®, the hesitation to initiate contact with potential buyers in sufficient numbers. Call reluctance is not fear of rejection or fear of failure. It is due to an emotional interference which renders our knowledge, skill, ability and talent useless. It is not just cold calling and telephone prospecting. It is much more...click here for more.

MARKETING MAKES SELLING EASIER

"A Nitty-Gritty How-To of Creating, Publishing, Marketing, and Managing Your Own Webzine or Ezine"

by Peggy Duncan
Article updated 2/2003

A SPECIAL REPORT I wrote on the process I went through and all the research I conducted to create my popular Webzine, COPE, and how you can start your own Webzine or Ezine. Also included are Websites with information to help you, directories to list your zine for free, and other marketing tips.

It's 6 pages packed with research that will save you a lot of time. It will not tell you EVERYTHING because I'd need to write a book to tell you that! But it's full of my own notes and lots of resources on the Web to go to for everything you need to know. I spent hours on the Internet gathering this information, checking out its validity, etc., so you won't have to.  Don't want to spend the money?...how much is your time worth?
